Feature-wise, the app may pack more useful options than its iPhone cousin. The app integrates with your social networks (if you grant it permission) and your phone's GPS to automatically fill in location information for your appointments, who you plan to meet or invite just by typing a few letters of their name, and so on.

When you do have an appointment to go to, bringing it up in Cal gives you the option to navigate to the meeting place, call the person you're meeting with, see who else is invited, check out the meeting location on a Google Map, and so on. The app is packed with gestures as well. Swipe down to expand the calendar down, up to collapse, right or left to switch days or views, or tilt your phone to manage your calendar in landscape mode. It even has photo themes you can use to customize its look. Connect it with Facebook and Cal will remind you when it's a friend's birthday so you can wish them a happy birthday.

The video above walks you through the app, but I've been testing it for a few days now and it works really well. It's not just an iPhone port—it's fluid and functional and all of the options and settings work the way you would expect them to. Cal is free, and you can grab it from Google Play below.
